STATE AID FOR COUNTRY SCHOOLS. 



GENERAL REPORT 



PURPOSE 



The purpose of the appropriation of two million dollars by the Thirty- 
fifth Legislature for the aid of country schools is to promote the country 
school interests of the State by aiding and encouraging the people of 
the rural districts to support their schools liberally by local taxation, 
to provide attractive school grounds and erect modern school buildings, 
to improve the sanitary and hygienic conditions for the sake of the 
healtli and morals of the children, to install the equipment necessary 
for effective teaching, to employ better trained teachers and have longer 
school terms, to establish a high ideal of what a country school ought 
to be, and, finally, to have confidence in the country school as an 
effective agency in the making of better citizens. 

In a democracy it is the duty of the government to educate its 
citizens; and the purpose of a public free school system is to inculcate 
and perpetuate democratic ideals. ' The Thirty-fourth Legislature seemed 
to realize the importance and need of an adequate system of country 
schools, and, therefore, made a liberal appropriation for the purpose 
of improving them. The Thirty-fifth Legislature, in response to a 
popular demand, and actuated by a desire to continue the good work 
so well begun, showed wisdom and foresight by making a more generous 
provision for the purpose of encouraging better country schools. 

It seems to be generally accepted that the principle of State aid is 
correct and that the children of the rural communities should be given 
an equal educational opportunity with the children of the towns and 
cities. With the immense resources which this State possesses, there 
is no legitimate reason why the children of the country districts should 
not be the most fortunate in the land. With their free outdoor air 
and rural environment, they have many advantages over the children 
of the urban communities, and with adequate school facilities, it ought 
to be easy to develop them into strong, intelligent, moral men and women. 

STANDARDS AND REQUIREMENTS 

With a view to establishing a reasonable standard to which any school 
may be easily raised without the imposition of hardships, the law fixes 
certain requirements with which all schools making application for 
State aid must comply in order to be eligible to receive assistance. 
These standards and requirements are as follows : Site. — The site must 
be at least one acre in extent (five acres preferred), properly laid out, 
well drained, and provided with a sufficient supply of wholesome drink- 
ing water. Buildings. — -The 'school building must comply with the 



Texas State sclioolhouse building law as given on pages 8-10, Bulletin 
65, or mnst substantially meet the requirements thereof. Equip- 
ment.— The school must be provided with the necessary equipment, sucb 
as desks, seats, blackboard, library, maps, globes, and charts, as, in 
the opinion of the State Superintendent, the school is able to provide. 
Teachers. — The teachers employed shall furnish to the State Super- 
intendent satisfactory evidence of professional training or successful 
experience, and must render a service of high grade. Enumeration and 
Population. — The total scholastic enumeration of the district must not 
be more than three hundred, exclusive of transfers, according to the 
latest scholastic census: and the total population of the town, if the 
school be located in a town, must not be more than one thousand accord- 
ing to the latest Federal census. Attendance. — The average daily at- 
tendance upon the school must have been not less than fifty per cent 
of the scholastic enumeration for the year previous to, and not less 
than seventy-five per cent during, the year that State aid is received, 
with certain exceptions. Local Tax. — A local school tax of not less 
than fifty cents on the one hundred dollars valuation of taxable prop- 
erty must have been voted, and in no case shall the valuation of tax- 
able property in the district be less than the valuation of the county 
tax assessor ; provided, that in extreme cases a district may receive, for 
one time only, not more than two hundred dollars, whether or not any 
tax has been levied, and provided, further, that State aid may be con- 
tinued if the district shall levy and collect a fifty-cent tax. Subjects 
Taught. — The subjects taught in the school must be those required by 
law to be taught in the public schools of Texas; provided, that the sub- 
jects of manual training and domestic economy may be taught in schools 
receiving State aid. 

DISTRIBUTION 

In compliance with the law governing the distribution of the one 
million dollar appropriation for country schools for the past two years, 
proper forms and blanks were prepared and supplied by the State 
Superintendent of Public Instruction to county superintendents and 
school trustees who desired to apply for State aid for their schools. 
More than eighteen liundred applications for State aid for country 
schools have been received for the scholastic year 1916-17, and each 
application has been given careful individual consideration by the State 
Department of Education. Before making a recommendation to the 
State Board of Education concerning an application for State aid, the 
State Superintendent has required the rural school supervisors to con- 
duct a personal investigation as to the needs and possibilities of the 
school, and has satisfied himself fully that State aid was needed and 
would be a wise investment for the State. 

During the past year, fourteen hundred sixty-two country schools, 
situated in one hiindred eighty-one counties, have been beneficiaries of 
State aid. The average amount of aid granted to each school was 



— 9— 

slightly in excess of three hundred forty dollars, and to each county, 
appreximately, twenty-seven hundred dollars. 

It has ever been the aim of the State Department of Education to 
administer this appropriation in such a way as to accomplish the great- 
est good, and, in order to secure the greatest benefits to the schools, the 
rural school supervisors have been kept constantly in the field among 
the country schools, informing the people as to the intention of the 
law and the purpose of the appropriation, and assisting in every pos- 
sible way in the improvement of the rural schools of the State. 

The Thirty-fifth Legislature having appropriated the sum of two 
million dollars for the aid of country schools for the next two years, 
there will be available the sum of one million dollars for each of the 
scholastic years 1917-18 and 1918-19. All necessary forms and blanks 
to be used in the administration of this appropriation have been pre- 
pared by the State Department of Education, as required, by law, and 
will be furnished in due time to county superintendents for the use of 
school trustees who may desire to apply for State aid for their schools. 

The State Department of Education is under many obligations to 
the county superintendents and other school officers for their assist- 
ance so willingly given and for their courtesies so generously shown in 
the distribution of this fund. The duty of administering the appro- 
priation during the past two years has been an arduous task indeed, 
but the joy in the anticipation of the benefits to accrue to the country 
schools as a result of the proper management of this fund has far out- 
weighed all of the undesirable features connected with the undertaking. 

The work ahead looms large, but the experience of the past two years, 
together with the knowledge that the results have been acceptable to 
the people, makes the duty one to be undertaken with eager anticipation. 
The State Department of Education has formulated large and well-laid 
plans for the work of the coming year, and with the hearty sympathy 
and active support of the people, it hopes and expects to see marvelous 
results come from the distribution of the two million dollar appro- 
priation. 

RESULTS 

The beneficial results from the distribution of the appropriation of 
one million dollars made by the Thirty-fourth Legislature for the pur- 
pose of aiding the country schools of the State during the past two 
years are so numerous and so varied that it would be very diffix^ult to 
enumerate all of them. The people have been aroused, as never before, 
to the need of improving their schools. School sites have been beau- 
tified, many new school buildings have been erected and scores of old ones 
have been remodeled in accordance with the requirements of the law as 
to correct lighting, and proper heating and ventilation. Thousands of 
dollars raised by local taxation and from other local sources have been 
wisely expended to provide better school facilities, such as furniture, 
libraries, maps, globes, charts, and other equipment so essential for effi- 



—10— 

cient school work. The weaker schools have been enabled to lengthen the 
terms, pay better salaries, and secure stronger teachers. 

Under the stimulating influence of State aid, the people are manifest- 
ing a liberality toward the support of their schools almost beyond the 
expectation of the most sanguine; and, it is indeed gratifying to observe 
that this spirit of generosity toward the schools is State-wide in its 
extent. While State aid has exerted a most wholesome and lasting 
effect in improving the schools in a visible way, the largest and most 
permanent result, perhaps, is to be found in the fact that the country 
school is being standardized, and established in the confidence of the 
people as an essential factor in the proper economic development of the 
State. 

The policy of the State in offering financial assistance to country 
schools as an incentive to encourage the people to provide better edu- 
cational accommodations for their children seems to have met with 
popular favor, and the plan provided for the administration of such 
assistance seems to be in full accord with the people's wishes. That 
this is true is evidenced by the willingness and readiness with which 
the Thirty-fifth Legislature appropriated double the amount provided 
by its predecessor, to be used for a similar purpose and to be admin- 
istered practically in the same manner. 

OUTLOOK 

While the results from the distribution of the one million dollars 
during the past two years are most encouraging, the prospect is exceed- 
ingly bright for even greater progress during the next two years, with 
twice the amount to be apportioned among the country schools to aid 
in their improvement. The appropriation by the Thirty-fourth Legis- 
lature has proved, beyond any question, one of the wisest investments 
of public revenue that the State has ever made. The increased interest 
on every hand for better schools, and the remarkable improvement of 
the schools of the country districts is sufficient testimony that the 
people have approved most heartily this effort on the part of the State 
to improve the common schools. 

A more favorable sentiment for liberal support of the schools has 
been developed. There seems to be a general awakening to the fact 
that the State, and the nation, too, must make liberal provision for 
the support of popular education if the race is to preserve its identity 
and maintain its prestige in the great work of the world. 

Eeports coming to the State Department of Education daily from 
school officials and other citizens from every part of the State indicate 
that, in the face of increased cost of building material and equipment, 
as well as of all the necessities of life, there will be no halting in this 
general movement to improve the schools. Numerous requests come 
from all sections of the United States for information concerning our 
efforts to improve the country schools. The eyes of the other States 
are upon Texas, especially, in an educational sense. It is a matter of 



—11— 

comment among informed people throughout the nation that Texas is 
making unusual advancement in the development of an efficient system 
of public free schools. Let the good work continue. Let us strive dili- 
gently to leave to the succeeding generation, as a legacy, a system of 
public schools to which our children can refer with pride, and for which 
they will honor and revere our memories. Let us provide, as a firm 
foundation in our educational scheme, a system of common schools 
commensurate with the needs and possibilities of the children so that 
every child can be given the proper training to qualify him for the 
duties and demands of full and efficient citizenship. 

It is the aim of the State Department of Education to continue to 
wage a vigorous and diligent campaign for better schools throughout 
the metes and bounds of the State, and to administer State aid for 
country schools from the appropriation made by the Thirty-fifth Legis- 
lature so that every section of the commonwealth shall feel the uplift- 
ing effect of its influence. The cordial support and active co-operation 
of all the people is earnestly solicited in this great and laudable under- 
taking of providing for Texas an adequate system of public education.

THP] LAW GOVERNING THE APPROPRIATION FOR COUN- 
TRY SCHOOLS 

(With Interpretative Comments) 

THE APPROPRIATION 

Section ]. For the purpose of promoting the country public school 
interest of the State and of aiding the people in providing adequate 
school facilities for the education of their children, *$1000, or such 
part thereof as may be necessary, is hereby appropriated out of any 
money in the State Treasury not otherwise appropriated for the school 
year ending August 31, 1918, and $1,000,000, or such part thereof 
as may be necessary, for the year ending August 31, 1919, to be used 
in accordance with the provisions of this Act in maintaining country 
schools. 

State aid under the provisions of this Act will he distributed in such a way 
as to assist all schools that comply with the required conditions to maintain a 
minimum term of six months and a maximum term of nine months each year. 
The appropriation is provided primarily to aid the weaker rural districts which 
are not able to maintain suitable schools upon their own available resources. 

Before any school will be granted State aid its application must show that the 
available school funds are inadequate to provide suitable schools for the district, 
that the citizens have exhausted every legitimate means at their disposal to pro- 
vide sufficient funds, and that the trustees will, if aid is extended, use the money 
in good faith and in accordance with the provisions of the law. 

DISTRIBUTION OF AID 

Section 2. The State Board of Education is hereby authorized and 
directed to supplement the State apportionment to any district coming- 
within the provisions of this Act with any amount not more than $500 
in any one year, the amount to be determined by the Board upon the 
merits and needs of the school. 

All applications for State aid under this Act shall be made upon the 
form prescribed by the State Board of Education and furnished by the 
State Department of Education. Before any application is presented 
to the State Board of Education for its consideration, the State Super- 
intendent shall make careful investigation regarding its completeness, 
and his certificate that each district applying for State aid meets sub- 
stantially the requirements of the law shall be required by the Board 
before aid in any amount is granted. 

According to the provisions of this Act funds received in the form of State 
aid must be used for the same purposes and in the same manner as is legally pro- 
vided for the expenditure of the State and county apportionments. 

The State Superintendent is required to make a careful investigation o'f each 
school applying for State aid before making a recommendation as to its merits 



*By an act of the First Called Session of the Thirty-fifth Legislature an addi- 
tional amount of $999,000 was appropriated for tne aid of country schools for the 
scholastic year ending August 31, 1918, making the total amount available for 
said year $1,000,000. 



and needs. This will be done by means of a formal blank to be used by schools 
applying for State aid, through correspondence, and by personal visitation by 
the State Superintendent or his representative. 

STANDARDS AND REQUIREMENTS 

Section 3. Any school district meeting the following standards shall 
be entitled to receive State aid: 

(1) Location. Each such school receiving aid shall be well located 
on a plot of groimd not less than one acre in extent, properly drained 
and suitably laid out. 

The school site should be as near the center of population of the district as 
practicable. It should be accessible and within easy reach of a public highway. 
It should also be located so as to conserve the health of the school children. A 
school site should contain not less than one acre of ground, and as much more as 
the resources of the district will admit. Large, well-laid-out play-grounds and 
school gardens will add to the effectiveness of the school plant. A school garden 
is not a prerequisite to receiving aid under this Act. 

(2) Schoolhoiise. There shall be provided a suitable schoolhouse, 
erected in accordance with the schoolhouse building law of Texas, or 
meeting substantially the requirements thereof. 

A school house to meet substantially the requirements of the State school house 
building law must be properly lighted, ventilated and heated. 

To be properly lighted a school room must have at least one-sixth as much 
clear window surface as there is floor space. The main light should be admitted 
into the room so as to fall upon the pupils' left when seated at their desks. The 
top of the window openings should extend within six inches of the ceiling and 
the window sills to a point not lower than three and one-half feet from the floor. 

To be properly heated and ventilated, a school building should be furnished 
with an approved system of heating and ventilation. The law requires that 
heaters be jacketed, and provided with a fresh air intake and foul air vent, so 
that each pupil in the average school room will be provided with at least thirty 
cubic feet of warm fresh air per minute. 

The building law further requires that all doors shall open outwardly; that 
floors be oiled ; that school buildings two or more stories in height be provided 
with at least two widely separated stairways; and that all inside finishing be 
without such unnecessary flutings and carvings as catch dust and microbes. 

(3) Equipment. Each school shall be provided with necessary 
desks, seatS; and l)lackboards; and with such library, books, maps and 
globes as recommended in the State course of study, as in the opinion 
of. the State Superintendent such school may be able to purchase. 

A systematic effort will be made to assist all country schools entitled to 
receive aid under this appropriation, and it should be expressly understood" that 
the function of the State Department of Education in this respect is to help 
schools to meet the seven standards and requirements in so far as it is possible 
to help local boards. The fact that a school can not as it stands meet the 
standards and requirements is no reason why such school should remain dis- 
qualified. From a careful reading of the opening sentence of Section 3 it will 
be noted that any school meeting the following standards shall be entitled to 
receive State aid. Therefore, the door is not closed to any school but is open to 
all who will endeavor (of their own accord) to meet the standards as pre- 
scribed by law. 

In submitting its application for State aid, a school should furnish full in- 
formation as to its equipment. If it does not meet fully all the requirements 



—35— 

as to equipment tlio school trustees should make a definite statement of what 
mill be done to meet tlie reqniromont^ of the law in case State aid is oxtonded. 

(4) Teachers. Teacliers employed in country schools shall furnish 
to the State Superintendent satisfactory evidence of professional train- 
ing to their t-redit. and all teachers must render efficient service of a 
high grade. 

In Selecting teachers, scliool hoards should consider, among other tilings, the 
following qualifications: 

1. Academic training. 

2. Professional training. 
.3. Character. 

4. Experience. 

5. Grade of certificate held. 

.State aid will not be given a second time if it be found that the teachers em- 
ployed are not rendering service of a high grade. 

(5) Attendance. In order to receive State aid, the school district 
must not have a scholastic enrollment of more than 300 pupils, exclu- 
sive of transfers, and the attendance record of all such districts for 
the previous year must not be less than fifty per cent of the entire 
time that the school was in session; and said district must maintain an 
attendance record during the year in which it receives such aid of at 
least seventy-five per cent unless it can be shown to the satisfaction of 
the State Board of Education that the non-attendance is due to one 
or more of the following causes: (1) attendance elsewhere; (2) com- 
pletion of the course; (3) extreme poverty of the family; (4) physical 
or mental incapacity; (5) lack of transportation facilities beyond a 
two and one-half mile limit; and provided that no school receiving aid 
under the provisions of this Act shall be located in a town or city 
having more than one tliousand population according to the last Fed- 
eral census. 

To receive aid under tlie provisions of tliis Act, a district must not have a 
scholastic population of more than 300, white and colored. This limitation ap- 
plies to the entire district, both white and colored, and not to the individual 
schools in a district. 

The percentage of attendance is determined by dividing the average daily 
attendance for tlie entire term by the number of scholastics enumerated in the 
district with the above exemptions deducted. 

(6) Local Tax. The school district must have levied and be col- 
lecting a local school tax of not less than fifty cents on the one hundred 
dollars valuation ; and tbat in no case shall the assessed valuation be 
less than the valuation of the county assessor, as a requirement before 
the district can derive benefits from this fund; provided, that for the 
school year 1917-1918 any district which having voted the required tax, 
whether being collected for that year or not, shall be entitled to receive 
the benefits of this x\ct; provided, that the State Board of Education 
shall, when it is necessary to extend the term of school, for one time 
only, apportion any amount not to exceed $200, whether any tax has 
been levied or not, and State aid may be continued upon condition that 
the district levy and collect the required local tax. 



—36— 

The fifty cents local school tax may be all for maintenance, or it may be part 
for maintenance and part for interest and sinking fund purposes. After the 
school year 1917-18, State aid for the second time will not be given a school 
that does not levy and collect fifty cents on the $100 valuation for school pur- 
poses. 

A school receiving State aid in any sum will be required to comply fully with 
the seven standards except as otherwise provided in the foregoing section. 

(7) Subjects. Each coiintry school shall teach the common school 
subjects as prescribed by law. 

Instruction may be given in manual training and domestic economy. Such 
instruction is not prerequisite to receiving State aid. It is not necessary to have 
an agricultural garden or farm or to have a teacher who devotes all of his time 
to agriculture. Agriculture, however, is required to be taught in all the public 
schools of Texas except in independent school districts having 300 or more scho- 
lastics. See Section 90, School Laws of 1915. 

GENEEAL POWERS OF THE STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION 

Section 4. The State Board of Education shall be authorized and 
it shall be their duty to make such rules and regulations, not incon- 
sistent with the terms of this Act^ as in its opinion may be necessary 
to carry out the provisions and intention of this Act. 

DUTIES OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION 

Section 5. It shall be the duty of the State Superintendent of Public 
Instruction to go in person or to send one of the rural school super- 
visors authorized by this Act to assist the school communities who may 
desire the privileges of this Act in their efforts to meet the necessary 
requirements in order that they may participate in the distribution of 
the funds herein appropriated. Before approving any application he 
shall make a thorough investigation in person or through his repre- 
sentative of the grounds, buildings, equipment and possibilities of each 
school applying for State aid by appropriation from the State Board 
of Education. 

This section requires the State Superintendent to make a thorough investiga- 
tion in person or through his representative of each school applying for State 
aid under the provisions of this Act. The representatives of the' State Depart- 
ment of Education will visit schools with a view to rendering helpful service to 
school boards in order that adequate facilities may be provided for the education! 
of children in country districts. 

SECOND AID 

Section 6. Before State aid shall be granted a second time to the 
same district, it shall be necessary that all reports required of the school 
officials of said district shall have been received and approved; that 
the State Superintendent of Public Instruction or one of the rural 
school supervisors shall have visited said district and the State Super- 
intendent of Public Instruction has advised the State Board of Edu- 
cation that in his judgment the school officials of such district have 
made diligent efforts to meet the requirements and standards as set 



—37— 

forth in this Act, that the district receiving State aid lias made satis- 
factory progress under existing conditions, and that, in his opinion, 
further aid would prove a good and desirable investment for the State 
in promoting the educational interests of the people of such district, 
provided, that no school shall be granted State aid a second time until 
all applications on file for first aid from schools entitled to aid under 
tliis Act shall have been acted upon. 

State aid under the provisions of this Act will not be extended a second time 
to a district that is not levying and collecting a local school tax of fifty cents 
on the $100 valuation. Before aid is extended a second time all reports of the 
school for the previous year required by law and by the State and county super- 
intendents must be made and approved. The school must also show that satis- 
factory progress has been made and that additional aid is both necessary and 
advisable. 

WARRANTS AND REPORTS 

Section 7. Warrants for all money granted under the provisions of 
this Act shall be transmitted by the State Superintendent of Public 
Instruction to treasurers or depositories of school districts to which 
State aid is granted in the same manner as warrants for State appor- 
tionment are now transmitted, and it shall be the duty of all treasurers 
or depositories to make annually itemized reports under oath to the 
State Superintendent of Public Instruction of the expenditure of all 
money granted under the provisions of this Act. 

Warrants for all money granted under the provisions of this Act will be -sent 
to the depositories of the schools receiving aid and not to the local school boards. 

The depositories of schools receiving State aid will be required to submit each 
year a sworn, itemized statement of the expenditure of all money granted under 
the provisions of this Act, and all vouchers drawn against this fund should be 
marked accordingly. 

APPORTIONMENT PRIVILEGES 

Section 8. Country schools shall be entitled to share in the dis- 
tribution of State and county available school funds, and in all other 
school funds in the same manner as other school districts; and in case 
high school grades are maintained the community school shall be en- 
titled to participate in the distribution of any State aid that may be 
extended by the Legislature of Texas for vocational or industrial pur- 
poses to high schools of the State, though it accept the provisions of 
this Act. 

The fact that a school district receives aid under this Act will not necessarily 
debar it from receiving aid for establishing, equipping and maintaining depart- 
ments of agriculture, manual training, and domestic economy.

less tlian one acre in extent (a five-acre tract is to be preferred). 

2. The premises must be clean and well kept, and the planting of 
shade trees should be encouraged. 

3. The water must be pure, sufficient, and furnished the pupils in 
a convenient and sanitary manner. 

BUILDINGS 

1. The buildings must be in good repair, and the rooms must be 
kept clean, comfortable and attractive. 

2. There must be as many separate class rooms as there are teachers. 

3. The amount of clear lighting surface for each class room must

4. Every window for the admission of light must be provided with 
a shade of suitable light color. 

5. Each class room must be provided with a modern heating and 
ventilating system properly installed in compliance with the State 
schoolhouse building law. 

In selecting heaters, observe the following measurements as to class 
rooms and diameter of fire-pot at stove door: Eooms of 6000 cubic feet, 
or less, require not less than 16-inch fire-pot; rooms of 6000 to 8000 
cubic feet, not less than 18-inch fire-pot; rooms of 8000 to 13,000 cubic 
feet, not less than 20-inch fire-pot; rooms of more than 12,000 cubic 
feet not less than 22-inch fire-pot, provided that for schools south of 
an east-west line through Austin the diameter of the fire-pot may be 
two inches less in each case, respectively, and provided that no stove 
should have a fire-pot less than 16 inclies in diameter, 

6. There must be two separate fly-proof toilets. They must be kept

2. Each room must be provided with a sufficient number of patent 
desks (single desks preferred), well screwed together, properly arranged 
to accommodate the pupils, and screwed down in a neat and orderly 



—39— 

manner. If desks are soiled, defaced or broken, they should be thor- 
oughly cleansed, planed, revarnished, and repaired. 

3. Each room must be provided Avith at least 30 lineal feet of first 
class blackboard (hyloplate or better grade), not less than three feet 
wide, framed with neat mouldings and provided with chalk rail. Hylo- 
plate costs approximately 12 cents per square foot, and' genuine slate,

such, and listed separately from those to be purchased. Do not over- 
look this requirement in submitting lists of books. 

TEACHERS 

Each school must employ a sufficient number of competent teachers 
to do acceptable work. If a school employs more than one teacher, the 
head teacher or principal must hold a first or higher grade certificate. 

SCHOLASTIC ENUMERATION- 

The total enumeration according to the latest census trustee's report 
must not be more than 300 pupils of scholastic age, exclusive of trans- 
fers, both white and colored, and the school must not be located in a 
town or city having more than 1000 population according to the latest 
Federal census. 

AVERAGE. ATTENDANCE 

1. For schools that have not heretofore received State aid, the aver- 
age daily attendance for the scholastic year 1916-17 must not have

HOW TO MEET THE EEQUIREMENTS FOR STATE AID FOR 
COUNTRY SCHOOLS 

SITE 

In a great many instances very little consideration has been given to 
the matter of selecting suitable sites for school buildings, especially 
in country districts. Oftentimes the land chosen for a school building 
site is regarded as being worthless for any other purpose, and it is cer- 
tainly very undesirable for the location of a school plant, where the 
children of the community will be required to spend a large portion of 
the growing period of their lives. 

To be eligible to receive State aid the site must contain at least one 
acre of land. Four or five acres should be provided. The site must 
be suitably laid out and properly drained. The most attractive site 
obtainable should be selected, giving due consideration, of course, to the 
convenience and accessibility of the population to be served by the 
school, and to the future development of the district. The site should 
be on or conveniently near a public highway and as near the geograph- 
ical center of the territory to be served as practicable. 

The land selected for the site should slope gradually from the school 
building and not be marred by ditches or ravines. The soil should be 
fertile and well suited to the growing of trees, shrubbery, and flowers, 
and well adapted for school gardens and demonstration plats for classes 
in agriculture. 

The foregoing is given as a standard for a school building site, and 
all schools applying for State aid should proceed at once to bring their 
sites up to this standard. 

BUILDINGS 

Booms. — There must be as many separate class rooms as there are 
teachers in the school. All partitions for the separation of class rooms 
should be substantially made and should extend to full height of the 
walls of the rooms so as to make each class room separate from every 
other class room. Cloth curtains or other improvised and temporary 
partitions are not satisfactory and will not be accepted. Adjustable 
partitions of the accordeon-door or rising-door type seem to be very 
satisfactory and will be acceptable if properly installed so as to insure 
their safe and successful operation. 

The proper size for a class room for the accommodation of 40 to 45 
pupils is 24 feet by 32 feet, with wall not less than 12^ feet inside. 
The width of the room should not be greater than twice the distance 
from the floor to the top of the openings of the main light windows. 
In the erection of new buildings or in the remodeling of old ones, these 
dimensions should be . approximated as nearly as practicable. 

The buildings must be in good repair. The rooms must be kept clean 
comfortable, and attractive. The floors should be oiled occasionally 
with some preparation to prevent the accumulation of dust, and swept 



—43— 

daily ;, preferably in the afternoon after the dismissal of the school. If 
the inside walls are not clean and sanitary, they should be scoured with 
soap and hot water. If the ceiling is soiled with lamp smoke it should 
be cleaned, and repainted if necessary. Many rooms which are used 
for meeting places for various kinds of assemblies become very unsani- 
tary^, and often unsightly. The walls should be adorned with at least 
two pictures of recognized artistic value, in neat frames with glass 
cover. Orderly arrangement of the furnishings will add very much to 
the attractiveness of the room. 

Painting and Tinting. — Nothing adds quite so much to the decora- 
tion of the school plant as to have the school building and all outhouses 
painted according to some pleasing and attractive color scheme, with 
due consideration given to the manner in which the paint is applied. 

The inside of the building should be done in three-color effect and 
the outside in two-color effect. In this discussion lower wall means 
from floor line to wainscot height, about 3-|- feet to, or slightly above, 
window sill; upper wall means from wainscot height to overhead ceil- 
ing or, if drop-ceiling, to picture mould. The division between the 
lower and the upper walls should be made by using a plain sanitary 
moulding to be considered a part of the wall below it. The following 
color combinations have been used in many schools and are beautiful: 



For inside:

White is not a desirable color for outside work except as trimming, 
for the reason that it reflects the light too strongly, and soon appears 
soiled and dingy. 

There are several good reasons why no school room should ever be 
papered, especially the two following: (1) It is unhealthful, because the 
rough surface of the paper catches dust and germs easily and cannot 
be cleaned; (3) it is expensive, because if the rooms are kept attractive 
they must be repapered every two or three years. 

Lighting. — The amount of clear lighting surface for each class room 
must not be less than one-sixth of the floor area; one-flfth would be 
better. For example, if the floor is 24 feet by 32 feet, its area would 
be 768 square feet. The amount of clear glass window surface for 
such a room would have to be 128 square feet. A simple calculation 



—43— 

will enable any one lo easily determine the amount of window space 
necessary to properly light a class room. The light to the class rooms 
must be admitted from the left, or the left and rear, only, of the pupils 
as they are seated at their desks. It is essential that all light to class 
rooms be admitted through closely grouped windows with as little inter- 
vening space between them as the safety of the building will permit. 
It is preferable that all light be admitted from the left and it should 
always be so. if at all practicable. However, in the remodeling of 
old buildings it is sometimes necessar\- to admit some light from the 
rear, and when this must be done, there should be a sufficient number of 
additional ivindows in the rear to secure the required amount of light. 

Windows on the left for the admission of light should extend to 
within six inches of the ceiling, and not nearer than three and one-half 
feet to the floor line. Windows in the rear for the admission of light 
should extend within six inches of the ceiling and not nearer than 
seven feet of the floor. All windows should be double-hung so that 
either sash may be adjnsted for ventilation in warm weather. Class 
rooms should also be provided with other windows for purposes of ven- 
tilation. Such windoM's may be placed on the side opposite the light- 
ing windows or in either end of the room. However, they should be 
placed high in the walls above the blackboard space and covered with 
substantially-made fixed wooden louvres or stationary latticed blinds to 
admit the air but exclude the direct rays of light. These lonvres con- 
sist of strong wooden frames fitted with | by 2-inch wood slats put in 
the frames at an angle of 45 degrees, and should be fastened inside the 
window frame, on the outside of the window, with long screws. 

The amount of clear lighting surface for library rooms and work 
rooms should be the same as for class rooms, and for cloak rooms it 
should not be less than one-tenth of the floor area. 

Emphasis is placed on the phrase, ''clear lighting surface" in the min- 
imum requirements for State aid. This means that no window panes 
in lighting windows should be painted or stained in any manner, and 
if they have been so treated, the paint or stain should be removed so 
as to leave the glass perfectly clear. Most paints can be easily removed 
by the application of boiling vinegar. As a matter of fact it is necessary 
to protect the eyes of the pnpils from the glaring light, but this should 
be done by the use of adjustable translucent shades of suitable color to 
harmonize with the interior of the room. 

Heating and Ventilation. — Each class room must be provided with 
a mbdern heating and ventilating system properly installed in compli- 
ance with the Texas State schoolhouse building law. No system will 
be accepted which does not provide for fresh air to be brought into the 
room through the wall above the floor line and warmed before being 
distributed over the room, and for foul air to be removed through an 
opening in the main flue. Any system to be acceptable must insure an 
even temperature of 70 degrees Fahrenheit in all parts of the room in 
the coldest weather without too hot a fire, and must furnish at least 
30 cubic feet of fi'csh air per minute for each pupil in the room. 



In providing for the installation of modem ventilating heaters ob- 
serve the following measurements: 

Cubic contents of room 
8000 cu. ft. 8000 or 12,000 or 

or less 12,000 cu. ft. 16,000 cu. ft. 

requires not less than 
inches inches inches 

I, When foul air and smoke are 
jremoved through the same flue : 

1. Flue (inside) 13x16 16x16 20x20 

2. Foul air vent 12x16 16x16 20x20 

3. Fresh air vent 12x16 16x16 20x20 

II. When foul air and smoke are 
*xemoved through separate flues in 
■same ehimnej^ : 

1. Smoke flue (inside) 9x12 12x12 16x16 

2. Foul air vent and flue 12x16 16x16 16x20 

3. Fresh air intake 12x16 16x16 16x20 

A properly constructed flue is an important factor in providing a 
■successful system of heating and ventilation. A flue properly con- 
structed of brick and large enough to contain a fire-clay tile, terra cotta, 
or lieavy-gauge iron pipe slightly larger than the smoke pipe to carry 
off the smoke, and leaving sufficient space in the flue for carrying out 
the foul air seems to be the most satisfactory. The pipe for the removal 
of the smoke may extend from the bottom of the flue or from a brace 
■or support eighteen inches below the smoke hole to slightly above the 
top of the flue. At some point below the smoke hole in this pipe there 
should be a clean-out hole for the removal of any soot or ashes which 
may accumulate. Under no circumstances should the flue fail to extend 
above the highest point in the roof of the building. For specific direc- 
tions for building a flue see Bulletin 65, page 31, issued by the State 
Department of Education. 

In purchasing ventilating heaters the directions given in the Mini- 
mum Eequirements on page — of this bulletin should be carefully ob- 
served. It is an easy matter to make an accurate calculation as to the 
cubic contents of the room for which a heater is desired. For instance, 
if a room is 24x32 feet, with wall 12^ feet, the cubic contents is 9600 
cubic feet. Such a room will require a flue 16x16 inches, inside, and 
a ventilating heater having a fire-pot of 20-inch diameter. 

There are several different heating and ventilating systems on the 
market, but only those which have been approved by the State Depart- 
ment of Education as meeting the requirements of the Texas State 
schoolhouse building law, and listed in this bulletin will be accepted 
for schools receiving State aid. Several systems have been approved 
by the Department as complying with the requirements of the law, if 
properly installed. It should be well understood that the approval of 
any system is in no sense an endorsement as to material, mechanical 
workmanship, or durability. It simply means that the system, if projh 



—45— 

erhj installed, will iiiei't the requirements of the State schoolhouse build- 
ing law. 

Of the systems approved by the State Department of Education, some 
are doubtless superior to other?. Trustees and county superintendents 
must decide for themselves as to the merits or demerits of any system, 
and purchase the one that, in their opinion, will give the best service. 
It is advisable for school officials to investigate the several systems listed 
before purchasing, in order to be certain that they are getting the best 
value for the expenditure. Tn quite a number of counties in the State 
a co-operative plan of purchasing school equipment has been adopted 
Avith considerable profit to the schools. Under such a plan, when sev- 
eral heating and ventilating systems, as well as other equipment and 
supplies, are to be purchased for the schools of the county, the trustees 
of flic interested schools and the county superintendent of the county 
call a meeting for that purpose. Concerns selling such equipment and 
su])plies are requested to send representatives to exhibit their goods at 
the meeting and submit prices for the current scholastic year. This 
plan seems quite })racticable, and ought to make it possible for trustees 
to have a more intelligent understanding of what the schools really 
need, and to enable them to obtain the best prices and terms on the 
equipment and supjiliesAvhich they desire to purchase. 

Water Supply. — There must be an abundant supply of pure drink- 
ing water on, or conveniently near, the school grounds, and water must 
be furnished to tlie pupils in a convenient and sanitary manner by means 
of drinking fountains, sanitary water cans, or other devices which will 
preclude tlie possibility of contamination from any source. 

Well 01- spring water A\ill l)e accepted if known to be free from harm- 
ful mineral ])roperties, and if the spring or well is so situated and 
covered as to be safe against pollution of any kind. Cistern water is 
satisfactory if carried from roofs in screened gutters, and filtered through 
charcoal or fine gravel and coarse sand. A cement-lined underground 
cistern i- ])referable to one above ground for evident reasons. Cisterns 
should b(> (if sufficient capacity to furnish an ample supply of pure 
water for the entire year. Water from stock tanks, ponds, creeks, and 
other unprotected sources is exceedingly dangerous for drinking pur- 
poses and will not be accepted. 

The use of the old-fashioned germ-laden bucket and rope should be 
discontinued. The school Avell or cistern should be provided with a 
sanitary pump. Tf the funds of the district will permit, it is advis- 
able to install a force pump Avith compressed-air chamber, or with ele- 
vated reservoir, and sanitary bubbling drinking fountain combined. 

The ordinary water Inicket and common drinking cup should not be 
allowed to remain in the school under any consideration whatever. 
Where water pressure is available sanitary drinking fountains may be 
installed at reasonal)le cost. Where Avater pressure cannot be had, sani- 
tary water cans or barrels, fitted Avith several large automatic faucets 
and mounted on substantial stands, may be provided at convenient 
places on the school grounds. If such cans oi- barrels are used, they 



should be frequently cleaned and kept in a sanitary condition. There 
are other methods which will be satisfactory and acceptable, provided 
the water is furnished in a convenient and sanitary manner. 

Toilets. The problem of providing sanitary toilets in rural districts 
has been a perplexing one. Even under the most favorable conditions 
the ordinary toilet as found in country school communities is a menace 
to health and also to morals. The toilet may be the source of disease, 
not only among the children attending the school but among the people 
of the entire community as well, unless every precaution is observed, 
by frequent disinfection, to prevent pollution of the water supply. 

The most satisfactory method of dealing with this problem without 
a sewerage system is the installation of one of the three following sys- 
tems: (1) The concrete-receptacle sanitary privy, recommended by the 
IT. S. Public Health Service; (2) the chemical tank system; (3) the 
septic tank system. All these systems are approved and recommended 
by the Texas State Board of Health. For further information con- 
cerning these systems, and for details as to their installation, see Bulle- 
tin 65, pages 40-46, issued by the State Department of Education. 

Other sanitary toilet systems which have already been installed and 
are giving satisfaction will be acceptable. 

EQUIPMENT 

Furniture. — In selecting furniture for a school building, the same 
careful attention should he given the matter as in selecting furnishings 
for a home. All furniture should be of good hardwood quality and of a 
color to harmonize with the color of the interior of the rooms. Each 
class room mvst be provided with a standard sanitary teacher's desk 
and teacher's chair, a well-made and attractive book-ease for the books 
of the librar}'-, a sufficient number of modern patent desks (single desks 
preferred) of proper sizes and properly arranged to accommodate all 
the pupils in the room. Pupils' desks should be arranged in neat rows, 
with interior aisles of uniform width. All desks of a row should be of 
the same size, that is, ISTo. 1 size in a row, No. 2 size in a row, etc. 
All pupils' desks must be well screwed together, and securely screwed 
to the floor or to |x2^-inch beveled boards in a neat and orderly manner, 
using as many screws to a desk as there are places for them. For each 
desk ]7 or- 18 screws will be required, 9 or 10 screws to fasten the 
wood parts to the castings, and 8 screws to fasten the desk down prop- 
erly. All screws should be run up full with a large strong screwdriver 
and should not be driven at all. 

If desks are soiled, defaced or broken, they should be thoroughly 
cleansed, planed, revarnished, and repaired. It is not economy to cast 
away good furniture because it appears soiled or slightly scarred. Old 
furniture can be renewed by having it worked over by a competent per- 
son so that it will look almost as good as new. In selecting varnish 
stain for use on old furniture choose such colors as will harmonize with 



— or- 
ally new furniture already on hand and with the color of the interior 
of the room. 

Blackboards. — Blackboards should be provided in every available 
space in the class room. There must be at least thirty lineal feet not 
less than 3 feet wide for each class room. Genuine slate is the best 
board for schools able to purchase it. Composition wood pulp prepared 
especially for blackboard seems to give satisfaction, and of this kind 
of material, hyloplate and beaver blackboard have been approved and 
will be acceptable. Slated cloth, paper, painted boards, or painted walls 
are not satisfactory and will not be accepted. 

For the different departments of the school the blackboard? should 
be placed at the following heights above the floor : primary department, 
26 inches; intermediate, 30 inches; high school, 34 inches. 

Maps. — Each school must have a set of at least eight standard geo- 
graphical maps, including maps of the United States and of Texas. 
Maps of the grade of W. & A. K. Johnston's Unrivalled Series, or 
better, are recommended. If maps are to be used in more than one 
room of the school, each map should be mounted in a separate steel or 
wood case, so that it may be easily carried from room to room when 
needed. 

Globe. — Each school must be supplied with a standard meridian glolio 
not less than twelve inches in diameter. If a globe is furnishecl for 
each room, the suspension type is preferable; but if several rooms are 
to use the same globe, the stand globe will be more satisfactory. Larger 
globes are advised for schools able to purchase them. 

Charts. — Each school must be supplied with a standard physiological 
and hygienic chart on a stand. It is advisable that the sheets in this 
chart be cloth-backed. Historical and agricultural charts are recom- 
mended for schools financially able to buy them. Trustees are cau- 
tioned against purchasing charts of any kind at exorbitant prices. 

Library. — Every school should have a library of carefully selected 
books, well suited to the various grades of the school. Schools receiv- 
ing State aid must have well adapted libraries on the basis of at least 
twenty-five dollars worth of books per teacher in the school. In select- 
ing books for the library, every department in the school ought to have 
careful consideration, and the books should be properly distributed 
among the various grades. In purcliasing a library the mistake of 
buying too many books of the same title, or in sets, should not be made. 
No sets should be provided for any grade above the fourth in any 
school. In no instance should the number of books in a set be greater 
than one-half the number of pupils in the grade. 

In elementary schools it is not advisable to purchase large diction- 
aries or expensive reference works. A dictionary of the grade of Web- 
ster's Secondary School dictionary, listed on page 61 of this bulletin, 
will be found quite sufficient for such schools, and some of the smaller 
and less expensive encyclopedias are better adapted for all practical 
purposes. 



—48— 

Library books must be selected from the list approved by the State 
Department of Education, and published on pages 51 to 61 of this bul- 
letin. Before purchasing a library for a school, applying for State aid, 
those having the matter in charge should send to the State Department 
of Education a list of the books proposed to be purchased and a sep- 
arate list of those already on hand, indicating the title, the author, the 
publisher, the price or estimated value of each book, and the grade pro- 
posed for its use. Such list will receive prompt attention and will be 
returned with the approval of the Department or Avith such criticisms 
and instructions as may seem advisable. When the list is finally ap- 
proved, the books should be purchased and delivered to the school. 

In order that the books may be protected and preserved, a substantial 
book-case or a small room with lock and key should be provided. Some 
efficient system should be adopted by the teacher to encourage the proper 
use of books, and to keep track of them so they will not be lost or 
destroyed. Tf it should be unsafe to leave the books at the school build- 
ing during the vacation period, they should be left at the home or office 
of some responsible person, and returned to the school at the opening 
of the next school session. 

TEACHERS 

The teacher is, unquestionably, the mo.st important factor in the suc- 
cess of the school, and for this reason State aid for country schools is 
made contingent upon the qualification of the teacher and the char- 
acter of service rendered by him in behalf of the school. 

The duty of selecting competent teachers is the greatest responsibility 
which devolves upon trustees and county superintendents. Trustees 
should never employ a teacher until they have carefully considered the 
matter in a meeting of the board, in the light of all the information 
they are able to secure as to the applicant's qualification and fitness for 
their school. The law makes the county superintendent a party to the 
contract between the teacher and the trustees, and it is his duty to 
exercise due diligence in approving such contract to the end that the 
best interests of the school children of the county may be served. There 
should exist the most cordial feeling and hearty co-operation among the 
trustees, teachers, and county superintendent in the administration of 
the school affairs of the county. Each should most courteouslv respect 
the authority of the others. If this condition prevails among the school 
officials of the county, there will be little occasion for misunderstand- 
ings, and the success of the schools will be assured. 

In the selection of teachers, trustees and county superintendents 
should consider especially, among other things, the following essential 
qualifications: (1) Adequate academic and professional training; (2) 
good character; (3) successful experience, and (4) grade of certificate 
held. ' , 

It is earnesty lioped that trustees who contemplate applying for State 
aid for their schools will exercise the greatest diligence to secure com- 
petent teachers because one of tlie most important purposes of State 



—49— 

aid for country scliools i.'^ to pi'ovide schools which may serve as stand- 
ards to which all schools should be raised. Close attention will be 
given during the year by the State Department of Education to the 
character of work that is being performed by the teachers in schools 
receiving State aid, and such teachers will be expected to render a 
service of high grade. State aid will be based on the actual needs of 
the schools, and with so large a number of competent teachers avail- 
able to enable trustees to pay adequate salaries for the employment of 
qualified teachers, there is no valid reason why any school which de- 
sires State aid should employ an inefficient teacher. The payment of 
salaries commensurate with the qualifications necessary for the high 
character of service which will be expected in schools receiving State 
aid will be looked en with favor by the State Superintendent in making 
recommendations to the State Board of Education concerning schools 
that make application for State aid. 

To be eligible to receive State aid, a school nuiM employ a sufficient 
number of well-trained teachers to do acceptal)le work. If a school 
employs more than one teacher, the head teacher or principal must hold 
a first or higher grade certificate. All teachers employed in schools 
making application for State aid must furnish to the State Superin- 
tendent of Public Instruction satisfactory evidence of professional 
tiaining or successful experience, and if it be found tb;i+ the teachers 
employed in a school receiving State aid are not rendering a service 
of hiizh grade. State aid for such school will not be recommended a 
second time 

SCHOLASTIC ENUMERATION- 

According to the law, a school is not eligible to receive aid from the 
appropriation for country schools if the school district has a scholastic 
enumeration of more than 300 pupils, both white and colored, exclusive 
of transfers, according to the latest a])proved census rolls of the dis- 
trict; or if located in a town or city having more than 1000 popula- 
tion according to the latest Federal census. 

AVERAGE ATTENDANCE 

One of the most important aims of the law providing State aid for 
countrv schools is to stimidate the attendance upon the school. Hence, 
the requirement is made of schools applying for State aid that in order 
to be eligible to receive such aid, the average daily attendance of pupils 
in the district must have been at least fifty ])er cent of the entire 
scholastic enumeration for the previous year, and not less than seventy- 
five per cent during the year that State aid is received, "unless it can 
be shown 1o the satisfaction of the State Board of Education that the 
non-attendance is due to one or more of the following causes: (1) 
attendance elsewhere; (2) completion of the course; (3) extreme pov- 
ertv; (4) physical or mental incapacity: (5) lack of transportation 
facilities bevond a two and one-half-mile limit." 



—SO- 



LOCAL SCHOOL TAX 



As stated in the law, the purpose of the appropriation for country 
schools is to promote the interests of the rural schools of the State by 
supplementing the funds of the weaker country schools received from 
the usual sources, and thus to enable them to provide better educational 
advantages for the children who depend upon such schools for their 
scholastic training. 

. In distributing this appropriation among the rural schools of the 
State, it is the policy of the State to he^lp those who are willing to 
help themselves. No district, therefore, is eligible to receive aid under 
this law unless it levies and collects for all purposes, both for bonds 
and maintenance, a local school tax of the rate of fifty cents on the 
one hundred dollars valuation of taxable property in the district, except 
as hereinafter stated; provided, that the valuation for school purposes 
shall not be less than that fixed for State and county purposes. Such 
districts as levy a fifty-cent rate, and meet all the other standards and 
requirements, may receive any sum not to exceed five hundred dollars 
in any one year, and are given preference in the law. 

In extreme cases districts with a local school tax rate of less than fifty 
cents on the one hundred dollars of assessed property valuation may 
receive any sum not to exceed two hundred dollars for one time only, 
and State aid may be continued if the district will increase the local 
school tax rate to fifty cents on the one hundred dollars valuation, and 
levy and collect such rate the ensuing year. 

The State Department of Education desires that every child in 
Texas shall enjoy the fullest possible educational opportunity, and that 
the rural schools shall be well organized, equipped, and administered 
for the benefit of the country children. There are a great many ex- 
cellent rural schools in Texas, and the citizens who have made these 
schools possible are to be commended for their good Judgment and 
foresight and should be encouraged to continue such effort. However, 
it is sorely regrettable that there are so many rural schools in the State 
which, for various reasons, do not come up to the standard as they 
should. It is the purpose of the State Department of Education to 
assist all these schools in every way possible, and it stands ready and 
eager to lend every means at its command to encourage and promote 
the countrv school interests of the State.
